Sounds like 10 +43 in the rear is what I should go with. Now how about the front, what offset will minimize rubbing? What part typically gets rubbed by the tire?

Thanks again to everyone for their input, it helps out alot

It really depends on how low you go. rominl has 8.5 +32 in front and I have 8.5 +42. Mine is pretty conservative but I still rub.

It mainly rubs on the fender tab when you do full turns and reverse. It also rubs the top of the wheelwell liner if I hit a big enough dip going fast on the freeway. There is already a hole at the top of my liner.

imho if you have 19s fat setup or 20s, if you get 8.5 and offset of 38 or higher you wouldn't rub the outside of the fender, you will rub the top of the wheel well which is typical for these setups.

Well, then someone made a mistake and my fronts are not +42. I have black fender tab shavings to prove I still rub it.

Yup. I may have to bend the tab more but at +42, I did not think it would hit at all.
